    Gazelle Foundation Impact Report 2020 Resilience in the Face of Uncertainty Resilience in the Face of Uncertainty Unforeseeable challenges faced us down in this year of great uncertainty, but despite the odds our progress continued. In fact, it was more vital than ever. The basic preventative measures that are keeping families healthy and safe every day and during the pandemic start with access to clean water and good hygiene. Because of our unique structure and in-country partners, we remained in constant contact with construction crews in Burundi, and work continued. We pivoted with our programming and created community without being together. We walked, “From a small biked, ran, and Zoomed - alone but together. And seed a mighty in the end, our thousands of supporters came trunk may grow.” together to dramatically improve the everyday lives of people in Burundi. -Aeschylus Gazelle Foundation Impact Report 2020 02 Our Mission Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the people in Burundi Africa by providing access to clean water.

They serve as a safe environment to explore and learn, access new information technologies, and collaborate with peers. When a school library program is destroyed by a natural disaster, the students and the community feel the immediate loss of a valuable resource that reaches far beyond books. Since 2006, the American Association of School Librarians, with funding from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation, has given more than 1.5 million dollars in grants to over 150 school libraries across the country affected by natural disasters.

    Clean water transforms lives. Burundi’s Water Crisis CLEAN WATER TRANSFORMS LIVES CLEAN WATER Most people in Burundi live in rural, mountainous regions where access to clean water is extremely limited. Waterborne illnesses are the leading cause of death, and Burundi has the 12th highest child mortality rate in the world. Over 3 million Burundians will require humanitarian aid this year, and by many measures, Burundi is among the poorest countries in the world. Due to certain governmental regulations, Burundi is a difficult country for charities and NGOs to work in, meaning that many needs go unmet. The Gazelle Foundation’s unique connection to Burundi through our founder, Gilbert Tuhabonye, and our strong relationships with on-the-ground partners, mean that we can effect change in a place where many others cannot. Our focus on Burundi means that it is easier to track the long-term impact of our water systems, developing not only a record of success but a reputation locally as a committed partner. Burundi has the 12th highest child mortality rate in the world - due to a lack of clean drinking water. Over 3 million people in Burundi will require humanitarian aid this year alone. Waterborne contaminants are the leading cause of death in Burundi. Our Mission “I didn’t have my first sip of good clean water until Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the people in I was in the first grade.” TRANSFORMS LIVES CLEAN WATER Burundi, Africa by providing access to clean water. —Gilbert Tuhabonye Our Vision Our vision is for every man, woman, and child in Burundi to have clean water, the highest quality of life, and hope within reach.

  • Gilbert Tuhabonye Was Born on November 22, 1974, in the Southern County of Songa in Burundi, a Small Mountainous Country in East Central Africa
    Biography of Gilbert Tuhabonye Gilbert Tuhabonye was born on November 22, 1974, in the southern county of Songa in Burundi, a small mountainous country in east central Africa. He is the third of four children. His parents were part of the Tutsi tribe and were farmers by profession. They kept milk cows and raised potatoes, peas, corn and beans. His love of running was forged early. Gilbert loved to run everywhere. He ran to the valley’s edge to get water for his family. He ran to school, five miles away, and he loved to race his friends. What he enjoyed most was herding his family’s cows. He was baptized as a Catholic in the sixth grade and moved seven hours away the next year to board at a Protestant school in Kibimba. While attending the Kibimba school, Gilbert began running competitively. Running barefoot, he won an 8K race while only a freshman. As a sophomore, he met a man who taught him how to change his running technique by getting his knees up and holding his arms correctly. The coach encouraged him to work hard and strive for the Olympics. Gilbert became the national champion in the 400 and 800 meters as an 11th grader. As a senior, Gilbert was already an extraordinary runner whose goal was to get a scholarship to an American school, get an education and return home to Burundi. Fate had another plan for Gilbert. In October 1993, the centuries-old war between the Tutsi and Hutu tribes erupted in horrific reality one afternoon as Gilbert and his classmates were in school.

  • What We're Reading – Summer 2016
    WHAT WE’RE READING – SUMMER 2016 See back for list and descriptions Summer 2016 | childandfamilyresearch.org WHAT WE’RE READING – SUMMER 2016 Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson - Stevenson was a young lawyer dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case transformed Bryan's understanding of mercy and justice forever. Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. -- summer pick by Anna Lipton Galbraith, Senior Research Associate Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor by Paul Farmer - Pathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life—and death—in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world’s poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violence. Farmer challenges conventional thinking within human rights circles and exposes the relationships between political and economic injustice, on one hand, and the suffering and illness of the powerless, on the other.
